62. Cost
How are you going tu fund a military -- complete with troops and logistics to handle situations around the world simultaneously -- without an ENORMOUS amount of cash? You are talking about a military that should be able to deploy thousands of soldiers at a moment's notice anywhere in the world. They would have to be loyal ONLY to the UN, not their native lands and they would have to have the hardware that could take on almost any conventional army.

Sounds like a huge fucking power grab for the UN. If it happens, I predict a war with the U.S., Russia and others in less than two decades. (It would take them easily 10 years just to get the army up and ready. After that, it would only be a matter of time.)
